Empowering Compassionate Care: The Mitivate Approach
What is Compassionate Care?
Compassionate care means recognizing, understanding, and empathizing with a person’s pain, suffering, concern, or distress and taking action to address that person’s needs. It can include activities like paying attention to patients and listening to what they say, following up with patients and running tests, providing holistic care, respecting the patient’s preferences, providing counseling, and advocating on the patient’s behalf.
When healthcare professionals provide compassionate care, they typically have a strong desire to help others; the ability to collaborate with patients, family members, and other healthcare providers; and good well-being and resilience. Healthcare providers who deliver compassionate care also commonly exhibit empathy and compassion, as well as attributes like integrity, respect, clinical expertise, service, and altruism.
Benefits of Compassionate Care for Patients
Compassionate care improves the quality of care that healthcare professionals deliver to patients. It also improves patient safety, improves patient adherence to treatment plans, and leads to more appropriate healthcare decisions. Additionally, compassionate care creates a positive environment for patients and is associated with positive outcomes.
Benefits of Compassionate Care for Providers
Patients aren’t the only ones who benefit from compassionate care. Compassionately supporting healthcare providers can help them maintain their well-being and resilience. Empathy is associated with feeling less burnout and having fewer symptoms of depression. Compassionate care also creates a positive environment for providers.
